Ming Dynasty: The poisonous imperial teacher, Zhu Yuanzhang advised me to be kind

Chapter 62 You sold the roasted seeds to the Japanese? Zhu Yuanzhang exploded, this is too poisonous!
"What did you say!" As soon as Chu Nan said this, everyone present was stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, stood up in shock. This plan was even more terrifying than the plan he had just heard to deal with the Northern Yuan people.

You first paid a large sum of money to lure the Japanese to change their rice fields to mulberry trees, and promised to give them food? Then you cut off their food supply after all their fields were covered with mulberry trees?
How else could this happen?

"Will a severe famine soon break out in Japan? I wonder how many people will starve to death?" Zhu Yuanzhang said in disbelief.

Zhu Biao also felt numb, even more numb than when his hands were sometimes uncomfortable.

"The Japanese must have stored grain and seeds. Without food supplies, some fishermen can go fishing to survive, but no matter what, it is impossible for everyone to get food and drink."

"If this plan goes ahead, half of the Japanese will probably starve to death immediately!"

"This, this..." Zhu Di was also stunned.

This strategy is much more terrifying than his direct killing. He killed only a few Japanese people? But Chu Nan's strategy killed a lot of people!

Chu Nan is too scary. I said I had learned the basics from him, but it turns out I haven't even learned the basics! The gap between me and Chu Nan is too big!

"What's wrong? Is this too much?" Chu Nan frowned when he saw that they were shocked.

"Do we still need to be merciful when dealing with the Japanese?"

"The Japanese often harassed the coast of Ming Dynasty, killing so many civilians, and they also wanted to buy Ming Dynasty firearms. After unifying Japan, they would attack Ming Dynasty again."

"They have such evil intentions, should we still be lenient? Your Majesty, we must not be lenient towards the Japanese."

If we are lenient towards them, how can we justify the many innocent Chinese people who were slaughtered by the Japanese later?

"Bang!" At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also slapped the dragon throne hard.

"That makes sense!" His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Why should he feel sorry for these Japanese? They are just damned creatures.

"I'll listen to your advice, Chu Nan. Damn it, I'll do it this way!"

"Okay!" The princes also became excited and decided to fight the Japanese.

"This vicious plan will surely kill many Japanese. Let's see what they can do then!"

"Your Majesty, this is not enough." But when Chu Nan heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he shook his head and laughed.

Where is this?

"What?" Everyone on the field was shocked when they heard it. Did Chu Nan think that this plan was not vicious enough?
"Hehe." But at this time, Chu Nan smiled and continued to speak.

"Your Majesty, remember, when you cut off the Japanese's food supply, you must pretend that the silk sales are not good and they have been operating at a loss, so you have no choice but to cut off the supply. Don't break off relations with them."

"We do this not because we are afraid of them, but to prepare for the next step."

Is there really a next step? Everyone present widened their eyes when they heard this.

The previous step was scary enough, but there’s actually a next step?
Chu Nan didn't say anything more and continued speaking.

"The next plan is also very simple. After the Japanese hunger problem is alleviated, the Ming Dynasty will send people to communicate with the Japanese and explain that the previous food shortage was the Ming Dynasty's problem."

"In order to make up for the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty, we will sell the seeds to the Japanese at a low price for them to plant."

"What? Admit your mistakes to the Japanese? And sell them seeds at a low price?" The princes shook their heads. Zhu Biao: "Lord Chu, don't you want to destroy the Japanese? After finally destroying so many Japanese, why are you giving them seeds to help them develop?"

Zhu Di: "And we have to admit our mistakes to the Japanese. Isn't this lowering the dignity of the Ming Dynasty? How can this be allowed?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also shook his head: "This is absolutely impossible. How can the Ming Dynasty help them develop and give them grain seeds?"

"Haha." But when Chu Nan heard their doubts, he laughed.

"Your Majesty, you are too impatient."

"It's okay if you don't admit your mistakes to them. As long as you send the seeds out, it's fine. So you have to send the seeds out."

"And the fact that the Ming Dynasty sent these grain seeds does not necessarily mean that it is helping the Japanese to develop, because I have never said that these grain seeds must be raw."

"What, raw!" As soon as Chu Nan said this, everyone present was dumbfounded again, looking at Chu Nan in disbelief.

Isn't it raw grain? It must be cooked. Can cooked grain be called grain? Can it still grow anything?

"Chun Nan, you?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. He really thought that Chu Nan was kind-hearted this time and gave the Japanese seeds?

But who knows, Chu Nan, you gave them cooked seeds? Are you trying to get the Japanese to grow something? Are you giving them popcorn?
"This, this." The princes were all numb.

They really thought Chu Nan was kind, but they didn't expect that they were only thinking about the second level, while Chu Nan was actually on the fifth level!

The Japanese have already lost a lot of people because of the Ming Dynasty's cutting off of food supply. Now you have fried the seeds. Will the grain planted by the Japanese still be able to germinate?
They worked so hard, endured hunger, and waited for several months, only to find that they couldn't grow a single grain of food. How many Japanese had to die?

Liu Bowen was also dumbfounded. Could a human really come up with such a plan?

They couldn't bear it anymore and looked at Chu Nan.

"Master Chu, the Art of War says that only when you have a pretext for going out on a mission can you be justified and keep morale high."

"But what you are doing is not morally justifiable at all. We must fight the Japanese. The Japanese have been treated so badly by you. Are we embarrassed to fight them?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that what they said made sense. He resisted the Yuan Dynasty's rule at that time because his parents were forced to death and he could no longer survive.

That is why the rebel army's offensive to overthrow the Yuan rule was so unstoppable.

But Chu Nan is too vicious now. He is really morally unacceptable.

"What's wrong?" But when Chu Nan heard their shock, he looked confused.

"Am I poisonous again? Where am I poisonous?"

"We, the Ming Dynasty, saw that the Japanese were poor, so we bought silk from them at a high price. We did not force them to switch from rice to mulberry. They did it on their own. What does it have to do with us?"

"Besides, our Ming Dynasty spent a lot of money to buy so much silk from them. We must be out of money in China. Isn't it normal to stop the loss in time? They are not our sons. Why should we keep supporting them?"

"Then there is the issue of grain seeds. We knew they had nothing to eat, so we specially roasted the grains and gave them to them to eat. They themselves wanted to plant the grains as seeds in the fields. What does this have to do with us?"

"So I have been helping them all along. What's so poisonous about this scheme?"

"What?" But after Chu Nan finished speaking, everyone present had become demented.
